What’s In A $43 Martini? San Francisco Fog, Of Course

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — After a quick search on Google of what you can buy for $43 — 18,000 large garden ladybugs, a prank fake ultrasound pregnancy photo, a sign that says ‘If you quit once, it becomes a habit… never quit’ — the prospect of spending $43 on a martini made with genuine San Francisco fog sounds not only reasonable, it feels downright necessary.

Epic Steak, located on San Francisco’s Embarcadero added the $43 Fog Point Martini to its menu about a month ago. It’s made with Hangar 1 Fog Point vodka, an exclusive spirit, that’s so, so San Francisco.

“I knew it would be a niche drink,” says Nick Henry, the restaurant’s Beverage Director.

Nick has been working with Hangar 1 for a long time and created the cocktail for Epic Steak.

The main ingredient? Three ounces of Hangar 1 Fog Point vodka, made with water harvested from the San Francisco fog.

Despite the abundance of brume in the Bay, it takes a whole day to harvest a few cups of the precious mist. Mesh ‘fog catchers’ perched high on the hilltops mimic the plants — drop by drop — turning fog into fresh water that is later filtered and blended with vodka from distilled premium wine.

You can’t even buy a bottle of Fog Point vodka. The website says it’s sold out.

“I knew it would be a niche drink,” says Nick Henry, the restaurant’s Beverage Director. He should have said “I knew that people in San Francisco would be stupid enough to pay $43 for a martini with polluted, suspended water droplets in it, in hopes that it would somehow make them seem even cooler than they already believe themselves to be”.

San Francisco is full of idiots. This testicle sweat martini is proof of it. Build a wall across the southern border. Then build a wall around San Francisco. Doors are unnecessary. Fill with raw sewage.

well for all the Fog enthusiasts I am selling unicorn sweat. It’s 1500 dollar per ounce. oh sure it looks, smells and tastes just like water but TRUST me it’s really from unicorns. I can be reached at http://www.usefulidiots.com

From what I have read the federal government uses the very predictable fog of San Francisco to conduct biological weapons tests. This came to light when one of the supposed innocuous biological weapons they were testing killed someone.

You do have to laugh at the idea of a drink made from water precipitated out of air on the West Coast fresh from China with such strict pollution controls you choke on the air. Don’t worry after drinking their SMOG drink they jump in their Tesla or Prius and save the planet as they drive home drunk. The left is so entertaining.

Hanger One Vodka….people are starving in Africa, dying in Syria, drowning off the coast of Italy and drinking $43 martinis in San Francisco. I think God will have something to say about this at some point.
